Duchene missed the last four games with an upper-body injury but is set to play Wednesday in Washington. Duchene will likely play on the top line with Mikael Granlund and Filip Forsberg and comes in with 25 points (13G / 12A) in 26 games this season.
Marchment (upper-body) is expected to play on Wednesday.
Marchment has been out since November 8th but is set to return to the lineup on Wednesday. Marchment, who has seven points (1G / 6A) in 10 games this season, will skate on the third line with Anton Lundell and Maxim Mamin.
The Stars placed Esa Lindell in COVID-19 protocol on Monday.
The Stars placed six players in COVID-19 protocol on Sunday and both Lindell and Roope Hintz were added on Monday, bringing the total to eight players. It seems likely that the Stars game on Wednesday will be postponed.

Rantanen was placed in COVID-19 protocol on December 21st but the team did not announce it until Sunday. The Avalanche provided expected return dates for all of the players still in protocol and put Rantanen on track to miss Wednesday's game vs. the Stars but be back for Friday's rematch.
The Coyotes placed Ilya Lyubushkin on the COVID-19 protocol list on Sunday.
The Coyotes now have a total of six players currently in COVID-19 protocol with Lyubushkin and Christian Fischer being added on Sunday. Unless he tests out, Lyubushkin will be out until at least the middle of next week.
The Ducks placed Sam Steel on the COVID-19 protocol list on Sunday.
Steel and Max Comtois were placed in COVID-19 protocol on Sunday and likely won't be able to re-join the Ducks until the middle of next week.
Dadonov was added to the COVID-19 protocol list.
The Golden Knights are one of two teams left before the Christmas break but adding Pietrangelo and Dadonov to the COVID-19 protocol list muddies the chances of this game happening. If it does happen, the Golden Knights will be without Dadonov, who filled in on the top line with Mark Stone not available for their last game.
Goalie Start
Oettinger will start Monday vs. the Wild.
